語源


ポット、壺、水差し、ボウル

古フランス語のpot, pot, jar, containerから、原ゲルマン語の *puttaz, pot, jarから、PIE *budn, containerから、おそらくPIE *beu, 膨らむ、膨らむ、から、語源はボール、ポーチ、ポケットと同じ。別の説では、ラテン語のpotus, 飲むカップから、語源はポーション、ポーションと同じ。語源学者はこの推測を否定している。

英語の語源


pot
pot: [OE] Pot was borrowed in the late Old English period from medieval Latin *pottus, which also produced French pot ‘pot’. This may have been an alteration of pōtus ‘drinking-cup’, which in classical Latin meant simply ‘drink’ (it was derived from the same stem as produced pōtiō ‘drink’, source of English poison and potion). Related or derived forms in English include porridge, potash, poteen [19] (etymologically spirits distilled in a ‘little pot’ – Irish poitín is a diminutive of pota ‘pot’), potpourri [18] (literally in French ‘rotten pot’), pottery [15], and putty.
=> porridge, potage, potash, poteen, pottage, putty
pot (n.1)
"vessel," from late Old English pott and Old French pot "pot, container, mortar" (also in erotic senses), both from a general Low Germanic (Old Frisian pott, Middle Dutch pot) and Romanic word from Vulgar Latin *pottus, of uncertain origin, said by Barnhart and OED to be unconnected to Late Latin potus "drinking cup." Celtic forms are said to be borrowed from English and French.

Slang meaning "large sum of money staked on a bet" is attested from 1823. Pot roast is from 1881; phrase go to pot (16c.) suggests cooking. In phrases, the pot calls the kettle black-arse is from c. 1700; shit or get off the pot is traced by Partridge to Canadian armed forces in World War II.
pot (n.2)
"marijuana," 1938, probably a shortened form of Mexican Spanish potiguaya "marijuana leaves."
pot (v.)
"to put in a pot," 1610s, from pot (n.1). Related: Potted; potting. Earlier it meant "to drink from a pot" (1590s).
